After a successful high school career playing basketball in Baltimore, Angel found herself attracted to Maryland for college because of its proximity, her connection with head coach Brenda Freese, and its strong academic portfolio. Angel had 24 scholarship offers from Division I programs, but she ultimately settled on Maryland and entered her freshman season as part of the starting lineup.

The following year, she was also a part of the starting lineup, and led the team to the Sweet 16 in the March Madness tournament.

After her sophomore year, Angel announced that she would be entering the transfer portal along with several of her teammates. In spite of the success that she had had in Maryland, she wanted to find a coach who develop her into a stretch four and help her prepare for a career in the WNBA.

Ultimately, then, Angel made the decision to transfer out of self-interest, understanding that she could get better prepared for a professional career at another school. She was the most heralded transfer in the country, and took visits to a number of major programs before ultimately landing with LSU.

She has flourished with the team since joining, and entered her senior season as the most heralded player in the country.
